Wha? I can't even kill a BIRD with birdshot 90 feet away.
Doesn't that seem pretty damn unlikely?

Great points and that's kind of what I've been wondering. I've never been bird hunting but from what I've been hearing at 30 yards a shotgun of that size usually only knocks the bird down and you still have to wring it's neck to kill it. It doesn't sound like a situation where someone could get shot embedded that deeply.
Not to mention the whole spinning around 180 degrees to shoot a bird is a huge no no especially from an experienced hunter like the vp.
